Habitus as in Fig. 2 A. Body brownish black; legs with blackish brown profemora and brown protibiae, basal halves of metafemora light brown, distal halves gradually infuscate; antennae blackish brown to brown. Head nearly orbicular, widest behind eyes; punctation rather fine, weakly umbilicate and very dense, surface matt. All antennomeres longer than broad; antennomeres IV – X of equal length; antennomere I 1.9 times, II 0.9 times, III 1.3 times, XI 1.3 times as long as IV. Maxillary palpus very slender, preapical joint 3.1 – 3.3 times as long as broad. Pronotum slender, widest in the middle; lateral margins weakly convex in dorsal view; punctation similar to that of head; midline with weakly narrow glossy line. Each elytron with three indistinct, irregular longitudinal and narrowly elevated ridges; macropunctation coarse and partly somewhat serial. Hind wings present. Protarsomeres I – IV distinctly dilated. Abdomen with very fine and dense punctation on tergites III – VIII; posterior margin of tergite VIII (Fig. 1 A) weakly convex; interstices with weak microreticulation; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe. Male. Sternites III – VI unmodified; sternite VII (Fig. 1 D) moderately transverse, with pronounced median impression posteriorly, this impression with numerous strongly modified, short and stout black setae, posterior margin broadly and deeply emarginate; sternite VIII (Fig. 1 E) convex, posterior excision very deep and U-shaped, its margins furnished with distinctly modified, short and dark setae; aedeagus as in Figs 1 F – G, ventral process slender and weakly curved; dorsal plate with long apical portion and very short, weakly sclerotized basal portion; internal sac with pair of shortly sclerotized sclerites. Female. Posterior margin of sternite VIII (Fig. 1 B) broadly convex; tergite X of genital segment narrow and rounded apically (Fig. 1 C). Comparative notes. Based on the similar chaetotaxy and shape of the male sternites VII – VIII, and the similar structure of the aedeagus, D. hui belongs to the D. malaisei species group and is most similar to D. aqiang. It is distinguished from all other species of the group by the deeper and U-shaped posterior excision of the male sternite VIII and the elongate ventral process of the aedeagus, evenly narrowed to the apex. Externally, D. hui differs from D. aqiang by the somewhat smaller body size and the shorter antenna. For illustrations of D. aqiang see Peng et al. (2017: figure 1) and Figs 2 C – E.	en	Lin, Xiao-Bin, Peng, Zhong (2021): Two new species and additional records of mainland Chinese Domene (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae).

Habitus as in Fig. 2 B. Body black with distinctly paler abdominal apex; legs black to brown; antennae blackish brown to brown. Head orbicular, widest behind eyes; punctation fine, distinctly umbilicate, and very dense, surface rather matt. All antennomeres longer than broad; antennomeres IV – X of equal length; antennomere I 2.1 times, II 1.3 times, III 1.6 times, XI 1.5 times as long as IV. Maxillary palpus very slender, preapical joint 3.2 – 3.7 times as long as broad. Pronotum short, widest in the middle; lateral margins weakly convex in dorsal view; punctation similar to that of head; midline with short and very narrow rudiment of a glossy line posteriorly. Elytra without distinct longitudinal ridges; macropunctation coarse, irregular; interstices with irregular micropunctation. Hind wings present. Protarsomeres I – IV moderately dilated. Abdomen with fine and dense punctation on tergites III – VIII; posterior margin of tergite VIII (Fig. 3 A) truncate; interstices with shallow microreticulation; posterior margin of tergite VII with palisade fringe. Male. Sternites III – VI unmodified; sternite VII (Fig. 3 D) with unmodified pubescence, posterior margin broadly and weakly emarginate; sternite VIII (Fig. 3 E) moderately transverse, with pronounced oblong postero-median impression, in anterior portions of this impression with numerous strongly modified, short black setae; posterior excision U-shaped; aedeagus as in Figs 3 F – G, ventral process short and stout; dorsal plate with long, sclerotized apical portion and with thin basal portion; internal sac with dark membranous apical structures. Female. Posterior margin of sternite VIII (Fig. 3 B) broadly convex; genital segment with tergite X narrowly truncated at the apex (Fig. 3 C). Comparative notes. The fine, dense and uniform punctation of the elytra, and the similar shape and chaetotaxy of the male sternite VII and sternite VIII suggest that D. leigongensis is allied to D. exicta. The species is distinguished from D. exicta by the morphology of the aedeagus (shape of ventral process), as well as by the somewhat smaller body size and the numerous strongly modified short black setae of the male sternite VIII. For illustrations of D. exicta see Assing (2016).	en	Lin, Xiao-Bin, Peng, Zhong (2021): Two new species and additional records of mainland Chinese Domene (Coleoptera: Staphylinidae: Paederinae).
